Why it is Important to Clean Out the Gutters on a Regular Basis

It is important to help maintain the roof of your home by making sure that the gutters and downspouts are cleaned out. By inspected them regularly, you can help to ensure they are clean. This can help to prevent the gutters from getting clogged. Leaves can be the biggest cause for the gutters and downspouts to be blocked in the winter months. The added weight of snow and ice can lead to damage to the facial boards that the gutters are mounted to. Without properly cleaning them, they may begin to pull lose and away from the eaves. Having the weight of fallen leaves, sticks, twigs, and other debris can cause damage to the roof. The extra weight that is added by the snow and ice can lead to even further damage to the roof and gutter system. Having clean gutters should be a main concern during the winter months. Take preventative measures to help ensure the gutters stay clean and free from any excess debris.

Gutters that are loose can allow for snow and rain to get behind the gutter. This can eventually rot the wood of the home.
